This expanding multiverse is now appearing on the big screen with the MCU (and ironically, the DCU at practically the same moment). DC decided to take the simpler approach and start with Earth Prime, and number worlds beyond this Earth 1, where many well-known heroes have alternate origins, Earth 2, where many of the golden age heroes like Jay Garrick and Alan Scott reside, Earth 3, where evil always triumphs over good, and so on. Marvel Comics also explores Earth-1610, the Ultimate universe, Earth-811, where the X-Men failed to stop the Sentinels from taking over, Earth-2149, home to Marvel Zombies, and many, many others. Earth-616 is so key to Marvel mythology, that it has continuously had stories told since 1961's Fantastic Four #1, all taking place in this universe.
For example, Marvel Comics follows the Prime timeline, aka, Earth-616, where most of its stories are told.
Comic book fans in particular will be aware of the tendency for both Marvel and DC Comics to have an ever-growing multiverse with most projects neatly filed and ordered into their own corners and pocket universes. With the MCU now in the thick of its Multiverse Saga, it raises the question of which universe the MCU is actually set in.
